It will work across both wired and wireless transport layers and take advantage of IP-enabled applications covering different types of vertical markets.

"We are very pleased that the committee developed this M2M Standard quickly with effective collaboration with other international Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) throughout the process," said Cheryl Blum, TIA Vice-President for Technology and Standards.
